EU CBAM Training & Consulting - Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) of the European Union for companies exporting to the EU market 2026.

From 01 January 2026, CBAM will enter its full implementation phase.

At that time:

• EU importers must annually declare the carbon emissions embedded in imported goods.
• They must also purchase and surrender CBAM Certificates corresponding to the amount of CO₂ emissions.

The price of CBAM Certificates will be determined based on the weekly average auction price of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) (€/ton of CO₂).

This means that:

Products with higher carbon emission intensity will face higher carbon costs when imported into the EU.

Impact on companies exporting to the EU

In practice, within international supply chains, EU importers and multinational corporations will require suppliers from countries such as Vietnam to:

• Provide CO₂ emission data for their products
• Establish emissions inventory systems
• Ensure transparency and traceability of carbon data

If companies are unable to provide reliable emissions data, the EU may apply default emission values, which are typically significantly higher than actual emissions.

This could result in:

• Increased import costs
• Reduced competitiveness
• Risk of losing orders from EU customers

What should companies do to comply with CBAM?

To comply with CBAM requirements, exporting companies need to establish a comprehensive carbon management system, including:

1. Identify products within the CBAM scope

• Analyze HS Codes
• Identify relevant sectors
• Identify raw materials and precursors

2. Establish an emissions data management system

• Collect energy consumption data
• Manage production data
• Develop an MRV system (Monitoring – Reporting – Verification)

3. Conduct carbon emissions accounting for products

• Calculate direct emissions (Scope 1)
• Calculate indirect emissions from electricity (Scope 2)
• Determine the carbon intensity of products

4. Develop CBAM technical documentation

• Description of production processes
• Energy consumption data
• Emissions calculation methodologies
• Supporting documentation and data traceability

5. Verify emissions data

• Internal assessment
• Independent verification

6. Provide CBAM data to EU customers

• Embedded emissions
• Exported product quantities
• Carbon price already paid in the country of production (if applicable)

7. Reduce emissions to maintain competitiveness

• Optimize energy consumption
• Utilize renewable energy sources
• Improve production technologies
